TheJoe: I just googled that and I'm confused by the giant pimple on its top.

JCD-Bionicman: I'm skeptic.
Did you use mice for a long time and then switch over, or have you been using the trackballs most of your life?

timppu: Touchpads? Argh, only if there definitely is no mouse available. I even carry the mouse with me when I carry my laptop around at my work (to meetings, lab etc.). I just can't stand using touchpads for longer periods of time.

As for trackballs... for gaming too? Do they work as well for games (e.g. RTS or FPS) as a mouse? I already asked that earlier when I was thinking about a setup to use a laptop from a couch with an external keyboard and mouse (and possibly connected to TV). I was specifically asking about trackballs, as I presume they'd work better in cases where there is no flat surface like table.

The consensus seemed to be that trackballs are still much inferior to mice in gaming. Too bad I can't test it myself as trackballs have premium price.

Also, I see trackballs where the ball is where your thumb would be. Do you feel they are good too (for gaming), as compared to your Marble Mouse where the trackball is in the middle?
